Elohim 'elohiym Hebrew: (אֱלֹהִים m. "God" Dan 11:38;Hab 1:11) is a word that expresses concepts of divinity. It consists of the Hebrew word Eloah (Hebrew: אֱלוֹהַּ 'elowahh "God") with a plural suffix.
On September 17, 2010, President Barack Obama appointed Elizabth Warren to be his special assistant in charge of organizing and establishing the
CFPB
in this role, Warren would also serve as a special advisor to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Senate approval was not needed for this appointment, though it would have been required if Obama had named Warren to be CFPB's Director; Obama was aware that the Senate was unlikely to have confirmed Warren for that post. Following Warren's appointment, Republican Congressmen Darrel Issa (CA) and Spencer Bachus (AL) sent a letter to the White House requesting more information about what they called an “unusual arrangement” that was “undermining congressional oversight.”[1]
Washington, DC July 14, 2011
At today’s Oversight and Government Reform Hearing “Consumer Financial Protection Efforts: Answers Needed”:
Congresswoman Ann Marie Buerkle (NY-25) asked Elizabeth Warren if the rules that the CFPB intends to impose will raise compliance costs on businesses, or raise the costs of credit for consumers?
On Friday, July 8th, the Department of Labor reported that the economy added only 18,000 jobs in June, far worse than anticipated. Congresswoman Buerkle questioned whether, given the low rate of job growth for June, we want to continue to overburden our job creators or raise compliance costs?
“My purpose in questioning Elizabeth Warren was to let her know that we are going to be watching her and the CFPB very carefully. We will make sure that they do no not create more bureaucracy and regulatory red tape to further burden our businesses.” Buerkle said.
“The horrific June job numbers are strong indication that this economy is not recovering. The last thing our job creators need is further government regulation impeding growth.”
